Guild Episode #10

38 comments

Episode #10 is posted and I have to say, I’m very excited to share it with everyone! I’m especially loving this episode because there are some great lines in this that make me chuckle. I’m not a piggy, if someone has a better idea on set we definitely shoot alts, and sometimes their line is better than mine. In this episode a few brilliant zingers by Vork make me laugh a lot. I don’t have an ego about it, I just am greatful to have such creative people around me who know their characters so well.

I don’t want to spoil it for those who haven’t watched (go do it!), but I feel like the cast is in top-notch form, and I love how all six characters really get some nice moments, all packed into our tiny web-series time frame. I like the scene between me and a certain newcomer (to avoid spoilers). It’s so passive aggressive at a certain point, dunno if girls will find it more funny than guys though. Sean Becker (the director/editor) and I kept the awkward moment longer and longer in editing, until it had us in stitches. Long silences make me laugh so much. It’s hard to be brave and keep them in, especially with the rocket editing pace that’s required online to keep ppl from clicking away, but that’s real life, right? I experience the agony of awkward pauses in conversations daily, why not spread the love? LOL!

Hope you enjoy!! Next week’s episode may very well be my favorite, but I guess it’s like your children: All of them have qualities that are the best and worst 🙂

There are so many great lines in this ep – too many to mention (and, anyway, I don’t want to spoil!). The stand-off between Codex and ‘the other’ was really well done – snobbery is everywhere it would seem!

The way you have set it all up there is going to have to be huge confrontation somewhere – and I can’t wait. The only downside is there are only two eps left!

Oh, the love was felt! I was laughing awkwardly the whole time (amidst spurts of giggles!)

The agony was briliantly captured and delivered, though I couldn’t tell what was going through Stuntman’s head when you ran off. Can’t wait till next week 🙂

Super episode! May be my favorite yet! Had to watch it twice it was so good. Favorite parts – your single eyebrow raise in the beginning monologue, the three girls walking in slo-mo, and the WoW/Halo bit. Hilarious. Lol, literally! And your dialogue at the end was priceless. You projected such a perfect mixture of embarrassment, shame and fear. Excellent! Brava!!

*akward silence*

Best ep of the season so far, Dani doesn’t know what she’s talking about.

*SPOILER*

I’ve been wondering all week what the deal would be with stupid hot tall girl, I did think she was just a roomate, så FPS versus RPG was awesome. “I kill things too, I just have prettier outfits”.

My favorite zinger was that line of Codex’s, “I kill things too, I just have prettier outfits.” Defensive and assertive at the same time. Really great episode; can’t wait to see where it’s all headed!

I make fun of my wife for ‘watching’ horror movies with her hands covering her eyes. The awkward silence had me covering my eyes the whole time. It was like a distilled version of My So Called Life, but funny, and with adults.

it just has to be said…I’d change that dorkoptamus pic of me if I could remember how…just so we’re clear…

Victoria, it’s a Gravatar, so go to Gravatar.com I guess to change it. Ya, weird how you forget to update one profile and your face jumps out at you from 2 years ago and you’re like ‘Where the hell did that face come from!?”

ohhh, cool! Never knew that!
I always thought that it only showed pics of people who use WordPress.

*noob*

In my opinion the awkward moment was just as funny for guys as it is girls. I’ve had it happen to me plenty of times. The old:
“Hey you game too? What do you play?”
“Warcmbmbm”
“What?”
“Warcrmbmb”
“Huh”
“Call of Duty”
“Oh yeah that games awesome!”

Lots of great one-liners in The Guild. “He’s mining my ore!” You pick the perfect facial expressions sometimes, too.

Watch the first or second season of the British show Coupling for ideas on how to make scenes about awkward silence. If I remember right, the “Giggle Loop” episode is completely about awkward silences.

Poor Codex! she suffers so.
Vork-tanamo Bay cracked me up! And teh slo-mo with the girls and Codexs face at the randoms in her apartment mid slo-mo killed me! 😀

I havent seen anything yo have done, BUT I love the sense of community connection in a good ensemble piece. ( Bones, NCIS, MASH, northern exposure, – etc etc ) ALL of my favorite shows tend towards that state.

I am on disability and in a lower income so that my computer is limited ( for now ) BUT I plan to try to view guild soon to learn more.

Its frustrating to me to read about your collaborative writing atmosphere on set, because I pften have that same kind of wit and feel I could contribute greatly to a show thru my life experiences and my ability to see fun and humor in everyday life with my friends. I am always the one ititiating new words and tales, as well as using show worthy lines in real life interactions.

Would you have any idea how a guy from the midwest on limited funds and connections might help a show out this way ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Hey Felicia or as I and my friends at work refer to you (FDay). I am a huge fan of the show and your work in general. I work at a Video Game Studio in FL and found out about your prjs a year or so ago on Dr. Horribles, been hooked ever since and had many ppl here at the studio hooked as well. We have many female characters in our new upcoming game. Sry it isnt announced to the public till 09 E3. But I got to thinking on the fact that there are females as main characters in our game. If you are interested in doing voice work just let us know. As we love to make soemthing liek that happen ;P
We are on the level.
